About this app

Enter the extraordinary world of Ghanada — one of Bengali literature's most iconic and enigmatic characters!

Ghanada, or Ghanashyam Das, is the unforgettable creation of celebrated author Premendra Mitra. First appearing in 1945 in the Puja annual Alpana, Ghanada has since become synonymous with a unique blend of science fiction, fantasy, world history, and adventure, all delivered through incredible stories told in a humble boarding house at 72 Banamali Naskar Lane, Kolkata.

💡 What Makes Ghanada Special?

Though a seemingly idle bachelor lounging in his attic room, Ghanada’s tales span centuries and continents. From battling microscopic enemies in "Mosquito (Mosha)", to being secretly involved in major world events, his stories leave listeners — and now readers — both thrilled and curious. The amazing part? Despite the fantastical tone, most of Ghanada’s stories are grounded in real science, geography, and historical facts.
